Ancient round Granite balls .

17 Mar 2014 .

Synopsis :

How to make them . Use spin circular saws . Marriage qualifyers .

  Discussion :

1.The unfinished one :

2. You can clearly see the stages of the manufacturing process .

3.A suitable rock is roughly trimmed .

4.Wet rawhide is coated with glue , dusted with abrasives  , then twisted  and lowered onto the rock.

5.Untwisting , it abrades the rock . You can see an halfway result above .

6. It took lots of time . But they had it . This was a hobby for some very bored people and randy teenagers .

6.1 Repeat hundreds of times . Rotate the rock slightly .

6.2 You end up with a round rock .

See http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/88Ui8q/:Ix!zu1R4:nmV8AL_v/viewzone2.com/ballsx.html/

For all the round rocks .

 

7. Sexual drivers .

The very number and size-variation suggests a sexual reproductive motive .

Basically , a reproductive fitness test .

If the male can stick it out to make a round  ball , he can stick it out to rear a child .

The manufacturing process would give very round balls  , but oval ones (like cojones) would be most prized .

8. Conjectures :

There are more oval balls buried away.

Every ball represents a family .

 

9. When their cities collapsed , they just walked away . Leaving their balls . But not their cojones .

If you have the courage , go dig them up . Do take some serious firepower .

 

Marbles , anyone ?
